INTEGRATE Fat TIre Fun Team Strikes Gold at Cyclebration



September 17, Folsom, CA - The INTEGRATE Performance Fitness Fat Tire Team took the Folsom Cyclebration Cycling Festival by storm this weekend as seven riders took the start line for the red, white and black. They brought home 17 medals as well as two first place finishes overall, two second place finishes overall and one third place finish over all. Last year, we had two riders and seven medals.

The riders competed in mountain bike short track cross country races (dubbed the "hurricane of pain") and time trial on Saturday as well as a cross country race on Sunday. Riders accumulated points based on how they finished in their races on a scale of 20 for 1st, 19 fo 2nd, 18 for 3rd, 17 fo 4th, etc. Overall standing were reached based on the total number of points accumulated.

The IPF Fat Tire Team had an incredible weekend, and I couldn't be happier with how they rode, represented themselves and how hard they trained to prepare for the event. It was an honor to have them race for the studio.
